President Obonjo (Benjamin Bankole Bello)

Presented by comedian and comedy researcher Jim Judges this podcast will focus on stand-up character comedy. We’ll be meeting and hearing from a whole host of comedians about their work and finding out about their background, how they got started, their on-stage experiences, their writing process and their motivations for what they do. Along the way we will also consider some of the differences and similarities between regular more authentic stand-up and the amazing funny fictional world of character comedy.
